Yet another reason why XP sucketh. I tweaked the driver for the wireless card, and finally got it to start connecting to a wireless router. Surely you can imagine my elation and excitement as I found a working Internet!
Except... well... why is the router named 'linksys'?? Yes. Windows XP will not connect to MY netgear router, but it will happily [when I'm walking in the right part of the house] connect to my neighbour's Linksys network. In fact, as I had DHCP turned on, Windows XP happily just broke the law for me. To make it worse, even though I know the unsecured Linksys network is there next door, there's no obvious way to avoid connecting to it. The Apple machines in the house however are happily still working. -1 to Microsoft for making it automatic to invade my neighbours network.
